Road Warriors

QB: Peyton should provide you with good scores weekly. You'll need him to, as the other 2 QBs on the roster may not play a snap in '08. Risky QB2 strategy here, and the Colts bye week will be a problem for this team.RB: Edge is fine, but as RB1 a bit weak. Going rookie for RB2 feels like a reach to me, but Deuce, if healthy, will cover that well. Jackson will need some help to get on the field, and Sproles won't get enough touches unless LT goes down. One thought that comes to me is that Sproles may have early value if LT is slower to recover. I haven't seen enough of Johnson to form any real informed decision, so my WAG is that he sees mostly spot duty and returns, and doesn't contribute to this squad. Decent group.
WR: My gut says Marv is done. If thats the case, Curtis/Hackett ( if healthy ) form your 1/2, and that will be a problem. If Marv comes back, this is a decent trio. Williams and Walter are fair as WR5+, but these guys and a rookie look to be a WR3BC setup. Below average WR corps.
TE: Watson seems to show flashes, but doesn't get enough consistent looks, or catch the ball consistently enough, to move up into the top half of TEs. Pope has not shown much on the field, and plays in an offense where he's the 4th or 5th option. Watson does catch a decent number of TDs, but I can see >1 low scoring contributions here.
PK: Vinatieri should be solid, on a good offense. Elam will probably get a look somewhere, but at this point, you only have 1 PK playing.
DT: BUF will be a decent, middle of the pack type D. They will have some ups and downs. The downs will really hurt with no backup.
Overall: God forbid if BUF and IND share a bye, this team could score low to 0 in to spots. In all, PK's & RB's should be solid and QB scores will be good. WR will be either (a) bad - Harrison done or inneffective or (b) Avg - Harrison healthy & playing like 2006. I don't see this team going deep.
On DA being the starter, that is part of the problem imo. I think he looks like the second half 2007 version.In this scoring format, 4 of the top 15 players overall in 2007 were QB's last year, no? I realize we can only start 1QB, but an elite one can score big here imo.

The rest of the team didn't necessarily do well, but I think RW will change his tune on the WRs.
